Re: when "/etc/init.d/networking start" it just says that "no such device"

I'm having a similar problem. I know very little about networking, but I'm learning. Right now I'm just trying to get the connection working again so I can continue a course I'm taking. I am using a vm machine - and was able to connect fine until I created another vm of Janus. Somehow it messed up my connection because now I can't connect. It's not a wireless issue as I am plugged in with a cable.

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Bind socket to interface: No such device
Failed to bring up wlan0.
done.[/SPECIAL]

This link shows a same problem,it seems that because of the kernel below 2.6.31 need the iwlwifi-1000-2.ucode and iwlwifi-1000-1.ucode,and then the iwlwifi-1000 packet in the link hxxp://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads has only iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode,so i will try update the kernel later.
But,before that,besides the wireless,the first problem with the title,in the have-wire situation,why eth0 could not use...........

As i install backtrack on a notebook,if only the wireless problem,i can use a usb wireless network adapter for a change.But if the have-wire network adapter in my notebook doesn't supported by backtrack....
In a word,i will update my kernel for a try,maybe two problems will be solved with a new kernel.

Updating the kernel might make your network adapters work, but it's probably going to break other things along the way. The current kernel has been optimized for the apps included with backtrack, updating will break that.
